The thing about dragging handheld items behind you is that it more or less gives you an extra inventory slot. Not too useful for most items, but it's great for hauling around a spare chainsaw or traveling with a flamethrower without worrying about getting Beepskied. Course, anyone can just pick it up, which makes it pretty risky.
Lockers and crates are good for *everything*, from being portable shields-on-demand, to near impenetrable kidnappers, to even impromptu securitron clowncars. Incentivizing the other transport methods is only one benefit to limiting their pull-speed, as it gives some kind of (strange) drawback to this weapon of mass utility. Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but I don't have any suggestions otherwise.
I really don't like drive-by kidnappings. The crew can move so quickly that even a brief stun-and-pull can take you to your doom. I'd say to keep the speed for dragging people slow, except for security officers who should have, like, their upgraded grab pull people without penalty. Throwing people on the ground, in my experience, is usually enough to get people out of a bombed-out area, as is sticking them with epinephrine and salbutamol, or just cloning them after they inevitably die.
